WHY: Feeling a little square or bored with your teachings? The most inspiring teachers are the ones who are out in the world actively participating and trying all all different methods, traditions teachers and paths as possible. From these experiences they gain insights, and these insights turn into inspiration, and that inspiration becomes something new that is their own. This training is a compiling of all of Leda’s favorite shapes, pranayamas exercises, metaphors, and tricks from over a decade of teaching.
OVER THE COURSE OF 5 WEEKENDS WE WILL DIVE INTO…
KATONAH YOGA® PRINCIPLES
Traditional Chinese medicine applications
Implementing the Magic Square into our practice as well as practical life applications

Mapping optimal alignment through Sacred Geometry- form, function and fits of the body
Esoteric principles of Polarity + Pattern + Repetition
Pranayama
The power of Metaphor and Imagination
Explorations of asanas, sun + moon salutations
HANDS ON ASSISTS
Good contact keeps us safe, well informed, and connected, while also giving our students a new perspective on poses.
CREATIVE USE OF PROPS + SHAPES
Support, enliven and inform the alignment and embodiment of the shapes you teach
Beyond blocks, straps, and blankets, learn how to use the wall, chairs, sandbags, and wooden dowels to inspire your practice
SEQUENCING WITH THE SEASONS
Understanding the cycles of not only nature, but ourselves, helps us to better understand how to use the practice as a tool to transform and transcend our circumstances.
TEACH POTENT PRIVATE LESSONS + SEE YOUR STUDENTS
Learn how to see and assist your students as individuals with different needs as well as how to lead potent private lessons!
CRAFT A MAGICAL HOME PRACTICE
As teachers we must fill our own cups as well in order to pour ourselves into our teachings. Deepen your relationship to your own self through shaping a consistent home practice and utilize the asanas as a tool for longevity.
WEEKLY INDIVIDUAL ZOOM CALLS + SUPPORT
Individual support in incorporating new techniques into your teachings and help you discover your most authentic teachings yet and get the most of your investment.
**Teachers can also choose to have Leda observe their class for feedback in replacement of a zoom call.
This training is designed to help you become a more well rounded teacher and inspire you to step outside of the box. Discover new ways to breathe, move and relate to your yoga practice and teachings as well as new ways to see and communicate with your students. Katonah Yoga® takes inspiration from many different modalities and teachings including Kundalini, Iyengar, Taoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, sacred geometry and more. Often there are not names or labels for the shapes we take in our practices. Labels tend to put things in boxes. Some of the best shapes and pranayama exercises don’t have labels, because the point is the experience and the experience is unique to the individual and designed to shift and change.
Often 200 hour yoga trainings aim to give yoga teachers a more classic, easy to follow recipe for success in planning, sequencing and choosing what shapes, breaths and topics to teach. We all start with a recipe that has been passed down, but in time we crave something more creative, something more unique and we want to cook up something new. This 50 hour training is designed to help you rediscover yourself as a teacher, write your own recipe, bend the rules and dive into all the things many trainings tend to fall short on. Leaving you as a more well rounded and dimensional teacher and practitioner.
ALSO INCLUDES: 50 hours towards Yoga Alliance CE Hours + Katonah 200 hour certification credits.
